Hampi Unseen -4 Vijaya Vitthala Temple

The most famous temple in the world heritage site of Hampi is the Vijaya Vitthala Temple . This temple is rightfully considered as the best example of Vijayanagara art and architecture. There is a massive enclosure to the temple with entrance gates at north, south and east directions, surmounted by lofty gopuras. The well known stone chariot of Hampi is located in this complex. The unique feature of this temple is the set of musical pillars.

Nice post. A sprawling spectacle with pillared pavilions within pillared pavilions and shrines within temples, the temple appears more like a town. Back in the 15th and 16th century, before Hampi was invaded, a small township was settled around its complex, remains of which can still be seen. Check out more fact about Vittala Temple.
